Conspiracy Offences

The central element of a criminal conspiracy is the agreement by two or more individuals to carry out a criminal act, meaning an offence is committed even if no further action is taken following the agreement. If you have been accused of conspiring to commit a criminal offence, it is essential that you seek proper legal representation immediately.

About Conspiracy Offences

Conspiracy offences can take many forms, including conspiring to:

Commit fraud

Import drugs

Supply drugs

Launder money

Commit cyber crime

Commit terrorism

Commit a violent act

It can be tricky for the prosecution to prove its case, especially in complex conspiracies allegedly committed by many individuals over a lengthy period, where the nature and substance of purported agreements may be unclear. Enlisting the help of a highly experienced, driven yet friendly legal team will ensure that potential defences are fully explored.

To prove a conspiracy, the prosecution must be able to show two things:

An agreement has been made between two or more parties

The agreement is to commit a criminal offence

The agreement to commit an offence must include details of how the criminal act will be carried out. If a defendant is not aware of the plans, it will be difficult to be found guilty of conspiracy. Also, if an agreement is made with a child, between spouses or partners or with an intended victim of the offence, they cannot be found guilty of the offence.
